Dennis Schroder goes through shoot around; game-time decision for tonight
Schroder is battling a sprained ankle and will go through pre-game warmups before determining whether he will play tonight or not. If he doesn't go it'll likely mean a few more minutes for starter Jeff Teague with Kirk Hinrich getting some minutes as the backup. Hinrich isn't a viable option but Teague is certainly in play, even going against a Celtics team that has been tough on PG's all season long. He's put up 70 FanDuel fpts in the two playoff games including a 45 fpt outburst in game one.
Dennis Schroder (ankle) questionable for Friday; Kent Bazemore (knee) probable
The Hawks have listed Schroder as questionable for Game 3. Schroder only played 20 minutes and if he misses the game it could bring Kirk Hinrich back into the rotation. Hinrich only played one minute in Game 2 but could see 10-12 minutes as Teague's backup. Jeff Teague has proven that he is a viable tournament option in this series and only saw a dip in production because of the blowout on Tuesday. If Teague plays over 32 minutes he should be able to slightly exceed expectations. Kent Bazemore played in Game 2 and also logged 30 minutes, we should see him playing 30+ minutes on Friday if the Celtics can keep it close.
Kirk Hinrich has been traded to the Hawks
The Bulls have sent Kirk Hinrich to the Hawks for a second-round draft pick. Hinrich is not much of a DFS option with Dennis Schroder entrenched as the Hawks backup PG.
Kirk Hinrich and Mike Dunleavy starting on Monday
Kirk Hinrich will start at PG with Derrick Rose out, and Mike Dunleavy will draw the start at SF with E'Twaun Moore starting at SG for Jimmy Butler. While he's a starter on a shorthanded team, Hinrich still isn't a recommended fantasy option - his backup, Aaron Brooks, has the higher ceiling and is the more intriguing GPP target. Moore should see all the run he can handle and he's an excellent punt play across the industry, while Dunleavy isn't a recommended DFS play.
Kirk Hinrich will play Sunday
Hinrich has missed the last six games with a quad injury, but will play today against the Clippers. Hinrich is not a DFS option. With him returning Aaron Brooks will see fewer minutes.
Kirk Hinrich (quad) goes through practice, GTD for Sunday
Kirk Hinrich was able to go through an entire practice and looks healthy to play on Sunday. Hinrich will go through warmups before be officially confirmed. Hinrich's return will limit the upside of Aaron Brooks. Both Brooks and Hinrich are not good DFS options on Sunday.
Derrick Rose probable, E'Twuan Moore questionable, and Kirk Hinrich out on Thursday
Derrick Rose is probable after only playing 13 minutes on Monday due back and hamstring issues. The Bulls PG was coming in averaging 22 points over his last 4 prior to the injury. Rose was also averaging a little over 31 minutes a game prior to the injury so there is hope he can return back to form. The Bulls face the Lakers on Thursday and Rose should be back to his usual self. E'Twuan Moore is also dealing with a hamstring issue and will be questionable for Thursday. Kirk Hinrich has already been ruled so look for Aaron Brooks to pick up the backup PG minutes.
E'Twaun Moore hopeful to play Thursday; Kirk Hinrich will not suit up
E'Twaun Moore (hamstring) is hopeful to play Thursday after sitting out this past Monday. His return will be welcomed with Derrick Rose banged up and Kirk Hinrich ruled out, so it's feasible that he ends up with 18-20 minutes of court time off the bench if Rose ends up inactive. Moore still isn't a DFS option regardless.
Kirk Hinrich ruled out for Wednesday
With Derrick Rose, Aaron Brooks and E'Twaun Moore healthy, this news doesn't have any real DFS implications. Expect Brooks to continue to be Rose's primary backup until Hinrich returns.
Kirk Hinrich starting with Derrick Rose out
Kirk Hinrich will be starting in place of the injured Derrick Rose. Hinrich makes for a decent punt option tonight against the lowly 76ers. Hinrich will likely have his minutes capped at 20, with Aaron Brooks playing the rest of the game. Brooks has a higher ceiling than Hinrich, but Hinrich will be under-owned in a starting position.
